Stoke station shut now apparently. Mates just driven past the Noahs Ark and seen a car with a billboard on top of it. Madness. What did it say? Couples only?

That sign on the front of the Boothen End is moving about alarmingly in the wind.

Just inside the ground now. If the wind picks up again it's curtains. Scoreboard is still up though

Radio Stoke: Police now closing the A500 in both directions at Etruria - no traffic travelling under the bridge.

Radio Stoke: Police now closing the A500 in both directions at Etruria - no traffic travelling under the bridge. I'm a bit baffled at how people have actually got there. I'm in Meir Park and couldn't get to the ground via the A50 (problems at Normacot) Trentham Road or Meor Heath.

If we ever needed any proof that we are a backward thinking City then there it is in black and white.

I'm amazed it's apparently so serene and calm there...it's usually blustery in bloody August! You made the right decision youth...a trek home to Sheffield at 10pm tonight ....I couldn't fancy it!

Wasn't too bad in the end.
Do we have a body count yet..?
I know the council ordered over a 1,000 body bags to deal with the carnage of playing/watching football in a stiff wind...

This thread is the perfect example of scare mongering and a molehill quickly becoming a mountain.
I won't criticise anybody for not going last night. It's a personal decision and safety always comes first, especially if kids are involved.
If you were to read this thread last night though, you'd assume we'd been hitten by a tsunami worse than Phuket 2004.
When we were travelling to the game Radio Stoke were interviewing a woman who had to deal with a blown down tree in her street. As the interview played out it transpired it was in fact a large branch.
We live in a social media world and a time when almost everybody has access to the internet. As soon as we have the first snow of winter, Facebook folk will tell you we've had a blizzard and you should stock up on bread and water.
The club couldn't win last night. No matter what call they made they would've been criticised. In the end, conditions were fine and nothing out of the ordinary for a British winter. I've sat through worse up by the incinerator.
